Break free from the search bubble

Bubble-free searching is just one more reason to say “StartPage it!” or “Ixquick it!” the next time you need to search the Internet.

Most search engines record search terms, clicks, IP addresses and any other personal information they can get their hands on. Over time, this information can paint a very detailed picture about you, like your interests, medical conditions, political affiliations, religious beliefs, and finances.

Not only does this information power annoying targeted advertising programs, it allows companies to deliver you search results based on your profile. Some call it personalization. We call it censorship.

Once a search engine has you pegged, it can cater to what kind of person it believes you are rather than giving you equal access to the Internet. In essence, you become trapped in a “filter bubble.”

This is never an issue when you search with StartPage or Ixquick. We don’t collect any information from our users so you get great, uncensored search results every time.
